rise and fall of the ancient nations. He took
the ground that the youth of to-day could be
so trained, so moulded and strengthened, that
they would not become enfeebled by indulgence
nor enervated by luxury. We should keep the
old custom. Patriotism had been fed by the

Room EnouEI, 20 Cool on:

LEXINGTON. Mo-, Oct. 1S.-The town
is all 'agog with excitement over the
resignation of Rev. w. A. Crouch, pas
tor of the Baptist church, who neither
rendered it in writing or through the
church officers, but with the brusque-
ness which is characteristic of him. He
said, last night, at the conclusion of
service:
II sever my connection with this con-
gregation. This is the last sermon 1
will preach here
The announcement was a great
surprise, only two members of the
church anticipating it and to
both of these Rev. Mr.. Crouch made
known his intention to resign but as
signed no cause. The general assump-
ton is that the resignation was
prompted by the crushing defeat of To-
cal option, the minister having been
the leader of that element. Some of
his congregation opposed him, and in
his last speech during the campaign,
delivered Wednesday night, he said:
Some of my congregation are hot.
The wild western prairies are big and
broad enough to furnish them room in
which to cool off -

PADUCAH, KY, Oct. 19.-John, the
nineteen-year-olds son of w. w. Bump
as, who lives in the country some eight
miles from this city, committed suicide
Monday by shooting himself. The
young man had been paying attention
to a young lady named Miss Sarah
Burns, the daughter of a neighboring
farmer. The two had quarreled over
some trivial matter. Young Bumpas
told some of his intimate friends, whom
he met on the highway, that he was
going to kill himself, but they only
laughed at him. He entered a grove
near by, and the report of his revolver
was heard a moment later. His COM
panions fastened to the spot, but found
him already dead. He held the pistol
so close to his head that the hair was
badly burned by the powder. The
young lady is said to be nearly crazy
with grief at the sudden and tragic
death of her lover
